Something interesting each year is the stark difference between number of DO students ‘applying’ to ortho on ERAS vs the number ‘ranking’ ortho on NRMP
If you look at ranking ortho as first choice, 43% of DO seniors matched. If you look at all that applied, 29.2% matched (!!!)
We’re heading to Vegas baby!! This year I focused on the human side of this process. We try so hard to be objective with scores, grades, research, etc but the relationships you form and being yourself is what matters most! Thank you to everyone who believed in me! #matchday2026
If applied ortho and went #unmatched , this guide can help navigate such a terrible time
Created from personal experience going unmatched last year to matching this year.
My heart goes out to everyone in this position :(

Failure to match in orthopaedic surgery is not rare.
In our @jbjs article, we outline a structured, mentor-driven approach to supporting unmatched applicants, including honest debriefing, interim year strategies, research alignment, and realistic reapplication planning.
--> A Playbook for the Mentor/Mentee
How we guide these trainees says as much about our profession as how we train those who match.

I’ve seen my MD & DO mentees both match Ivy League residencies. The reason I share this, is to let my DO followers know that it is possible for them too.
